lot no assigning issue

Hi All,
I want to understand a behavior in Business Central.

Let’s say I am creating a Sales Order and using inventory items that are tracked through Lot Numbers.

For example, I have Item A with Lot No. 123 in inventory. When I create a sales order and go to assign the lot number, Business Central shows Lot No. 123 in the Item Tracking Lines list, so I can select it directly. This works as expected.

However, I am seeing another case with Item B, which has Lot No. 456 available in inventory. But when I create a sales order and go to assign the lot number, the lot number list in Item Tracking Lines does not show any available lot numbers.

This is my main question: In which scenarios does Business Central not show available lot numbers in the Item Tracking Lines list, even though inventory exists?

Sometimes if I manually type Lot No. 456, it gets accepted and then appears inside. Other times, even manual entry does not work.

So, in short: Why are lot numbers sometimes not visible in the selection list like Item A, even though stock exists for that lot?

thanks!!!!!

    Hello,

    Have you checked the Location and Bin Code of that particular lot? There might be a chance that this is a filtering issue.
     
    Hope this helps resolve your issue.

    Hello,

    Yes I do agree with @Yash_Mistry  On the sales order line, if a Location Code or Bin Code is already specified, the system will only display lot numbers that are available within that specific location and bin. If the required lot is not available in the selected location/bin, it will not appear in the Item Tracking Lines.

    To validate this, please review the Item Ledger Entries when working with location-based inventory. If bin management is enabled, you should instead verify the availability in the Warehouse Entries, as bin-level tracking is maintained there.

    Regards,
